Americans spent a huge amount of money on a war that did not exist and wasn't going to. And Americans got a taste of communism themselves with McCarthyism.

The McCarthy hearings and the resultant blackballing of certain citizens who had committed no crimes also gave Americans an inside look at fascism.

What impact did the second Red Scare have on American society?

It had a lot of impact. Americans lived in fear of Communist spies. Through this, many lost their jobs due to suspicion that they were Communists or friendly with Communists. People were investigated and an un-official blacklist ran through Hollywood as well as the radio and television industries. Stories about Communism ran through the newspapers and Communism became a subject for movies and television. The Second Red Scare caused Communism to be, well, everywhere.
